Open
- username conflict problem (Austin's solution seems to be the most comprehensive but also the most difficult to implement)
- stop sending bounces to return address provided by spammers (accept only outside mail for local delivery and only local mail for outside delivery?)
- filter out http 200 and 404 entries logwatch reports
- install openldap
- follow up openwetware hostname alias transfer to model (https://help.mit.edu/SelfService/)
- Add vhost directives to Apache logs to distinguish traffic among the sites
- Eventum
- RSS feeds in wiki extension
- add feed extensions to User:Ilya/OpenWetWare/Feeds
- feature requested: formatting of feeds (Magpie?)
- Embed PHPBB
- Semantic mediawiki - installed on test (see Austin's email for details)
- Move pheromone wiki to rackspace server:
- user accounts - openid
- delete spammers' user accounts
- <Googlesearchheader>
- try Drupal, see CMS
- try Pligg - an open source social networking content management system (CMS). It combines social bookmarking, bloggin, syndication and a democratic editorial system that enables users to collaboratively submit and promote articles
- stop rotation of OWW access logs (make a script to archive the logs before they are rotated?)
- enable rsync over SSH for off-site backups
- graph of connections among pages on the wiki
- citation box - a form to fill out (publication name, first author, date, etc) to help users cite materials outside Pubmed; examples on Wikipedia?
- IRC backend (like #bioinformatics channel on IRC) or Jabber service (via GTalk or own server).
- Create SPF record
Backscatter email
A range of techniques can be used by servers to reject during the initial SMTP connection:
- Recipient validation
- SPF checks
- Reject email from servers senders that do not have a reverse DNS entry
- Reject senders on dynamic black lists
Add new page
- RISDpedia
- We might consider having something like the "add a page" for protocols. Would be particularly useful if it could check for 'similar' pages. E.g. you want to add a protocol for "Miller Assay" and it finds the OWW page and suggests you add your variant there. this would help to rally people around sharing/improving the same protocol page. (via Jason)
Chat
- one common room with many private ones vs room per page? (need IRC/jabber server plus a front end that integrates with wiki - makes logs accessible from within the wiki for easy searching)
- the front page could display the users currently in chat, which would make going there more enticing (TK)
- good help page for jabber service
- JWChat is a full featured, web-based Jabber™ client. Written using AJAX technology it relies on JavaScript and HTML at the client-side only.
DOI
- The DOI system was established to provide persistent identifiers for digital content because URLs were "never meant to be an identifier but only to designate the location of objects" (http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-02/davidson.html). In other words, DOIs were designed to be generic enough so that they could be used on top of any system, including but not limited to DNS/Internet. The DOI system provides a level of indirection between the identifier and the object it identifies. This is very useful for keeping URLs current - when location of an object changes, you just need to update the URL associated with the object's DOI.
- Besides resolution services, the DOI proxies/resolvers (which are operated by the Registration Agencies and are currently web-based) also maintain some structured metadata (like author, date, title, etc) for every object. This is useful for more efficient searching, for example.
- To obtain the real DOIs for OWW content, we'd need to register each DOI with a DOI Registration Agency. This apparently requires an yearly fee (just like the Internet domain registration fee) and possibly, a one-time fee for the DOI prefix (http://www.medra.org/en/terms.htm, http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/20pub_fees.html).
- To be confirmed. DNS is hierarchical: one needs only to register a domain name and then can have unlimited number of subdomains. DOI systems is flat, so each DOI (suffix) needs to be registered with the system, even if one owns a prefix.
Blogs
- Problem: new blog notifications are sent to you@example.com. For example:
- New blog created by admin\n\nAddress: http://blog.openwetware.org/outsidethebox/\nName: Outside The Box
- New comment notification for post authors and others
Aggregation
- From Austin: an alternative to merging rss feeds on the wiki is to use Planet. Many sites out there use it, for example:
Promotion
- Iimplement a viral system that would allow existing users to give accounts to others but with a limit - like GMail used to have. For example, if I'm a user, I have five pre-approved accounts to give out and so would each of those five, etc.
Use cases
Borrowed from account applications
- Establish a webpage for tracking the most recent updates of journal publications in micro/nanofluidics (Xiangchun Xuan)
- cannot contribute directly to the competition/competitors, but am looking for ways to be in the loop (Jahnavi Chandra Prasad)
